The codes of Google Sheet and the program that are in Metatrader are sensitive to the smallest change. All uppercase and lowercase letters must be respected.

In the previous comment, the code related to Apps Script is placed. Use it carefully.

This code:  https://github.com/jamiewilson/form-to-google-sheets

Do the steps "Create a new Google Sheet" to "How to post (write) data to google Spreadsheets" again. If you are not successful in these steps, you cannot go to the next steps.

All the code and MY JOURAN are a sample. you must do the steps by yourself.

Hello Sara, 

I finally had time to look into this. 

For multiple times I've tried to make it work, following the instructions very carefully, but I still get no trades logging on the Google sheet from MT5 data.

The App Scritp works when I enter the data manually thought the html. The Mt5 code (that I've downloaded from here) gives me no errors nor warnings - I carefully inserted my web app URL to it. 

Chatgpt suggested to add my App Script URL in the the Expert Advisor  "Allow WebRequest for listed URL." But that did not help. 


I noticed that the issue is that when I apply the EA to the chart, it looks active on the top right corner, but if I look into Expert in the bottom window, it does NOT say "Expert Advisor Initialized" (as it usually does with other EAs)


Is there anything else I could try? I'd really like to use this. 

Thanks a lot

 

EDIT: 

After a lot of tweaking with AI also to add other parameters, I managed to make it work! YES! I love it. Thank you.
